A Sunova Solar announced the final certification of safe in photovoltaic warranty with the Munich Re Green Tech Solutions. The agreement was signed at a signing ceremony at the company's global headquarters in September.

William Sheng, CEO of Sunova Solar, joined Kollsman Chan, regional head of business development at Munich Re, to formalize the partnership.

“This certification is further validation of Sunova as a Tier 1 manufacturer and trusted partner. We are proud to provide this additional security to our customers as they face the world's greatest risk: climate change,” said Sheng.

Munich Re's support provides project owners and developers with the assurance of long-term financial viability of Sunova modules for 25 to 30 years. According to the company, photovoltaic reinsurance is vital to guarantee the bankability and reliability of large-scale solar projects.

The photovoltaic reinsurance certification process involved the Due Diligence technique and several factory visits by Munich Re to validate the quality and performance of Sunova's products.

The manufacturer's quality control program includes three dimensions: system management, personnel training and documentation to guarantee the quality of the equipment.
